Common Information
TASK 72-41-11-300-025 HPC Stage 3 - 8 Drum Disk - Blend Repair Damaged Wire Seal Slots, Repair-025 (VRS6527)
General
This repair must only be done when the instruction to do so is given in 72-41-11, Inspection/Check.
This TASK gives the procedure to repair the HP compressor stages 3 to 8 disks assembly, stages 6, 7 and 8 front and rear damper wire slots by dressing.
This repair must only be done by operators who are trained and qualified with operation, operation constraints and conditions of hand held power tools. Operators must know and be able to recognize the changes in surface texture and color of the component/repair area.
The dressing limits given for the stage 6 rear, stage 7 front, stage 7 rear and stage 8 front damper wire slots is split into two parts:
The lesser dressing limit of 0.097 in. (2.46 mm) is permitted at multiple locations around the subject damper wire slot.
The larger dressing limit of 0.122 in. (3.10 mm) is only permitted at a maximum of three positions per slot.
The distance between each blend must be a minimum of 120 degrees from the deepest point of dressing. If only 1 off area of dressing to the larger limit is necessary on each adjacent slot, the distance between theses areas must be a minimum of 120 degrees. Refer to Figure.
TASKs identified by SPM TASK are in the Standard Practices and Processes Manual (SPM).

CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - YOU MUST USE SILICON CARBIDE TYPE ABRASIVE WHEELS, STONES AND PAPERS TO DRESS, BLEND AND POLISH THIS COMPONENT.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - AVOID BUILD UP OF HEAT BY APPLYING ONLY GENTLE PRESSURE AND KEEPING THE TOOL SPEED AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. USE TECHNIQUES WHICH ALLOW FOR PROGRESSIVE WEAR OF THE DRESSING MEDIA TO PRESENT A CONTINUALLY FRESH CUTTING SURFACE TO THE WORK PIECE.
CAUTION
DO NOT DWELL ON ONE AREA OF THE COMPONENT.
CAUTION
DRESS, WHERE POSSIBLE, IN A CIRCULAR MOTION TAKING LIGHT CUTS TO AVOID OVERHEATING.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU REMOVE MATERIAL, BLEND AND POLISH, TO MAKE SMOOTH, THAT NO SPARKS ARE PRODUCED AND THE ADJACENT AREA IS MASKED OFF.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - IF THE MATERIAL SHOWS A CHANGE IN COLOR DURING DRESSING, TO DARKER THAN A LIGHT STRAW COLOR, THE COMPONENT IS TO BE REJECTED.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - MAXIMUM SPEED FOR MECHANICAL TOOLS MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 1000 REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE.Only abrasive stones and papers are to be used if blending the lining material.
The stage 6 rear, stage 7 front, stage 7 rear and stage 8 front damper wire slot larger dressing limit of 0.122 in. (3.10 mm) is only permitted at a maximum of three positions per slot. The distance between each blend must be a minimum of 120 degrees from the deepest point of dressing. If individual slots only require 1 off area of dressing to the larger limit, as shown in Figure, then these dressed areas must be separated with a minimum of 120 degrees on adjacent slots.
If you use mechanical tools, the maximum speed is 1000 rpm.
Damage is to be dressed to depth to remove the minimum amount of material possible to make sure a smooth blend. Use a width to depth ratio of 50:1.
The dressing limits are as follows:
The stage 6 front slot width, AJ after repair must not be more than 0.102 in. (2.60 mm).
The stage 6 rear slot width and stage 7 rear slot width, AK after repair must not be more than 0.097 in. (2.46 mm) and/or 0.122 in. (3.10 mm) at a maximum of three positions per stage at a minimum of 120 degrees apart.
The stage 7 front slot width and stage 8 front slot width, AL after repair must not be more than 0.097 in. (2.46 mm) and/or 0.122 in. (3.10 mm) at a maximum of three positions per stage at a minimum of 120 degrees apart.
The stage 8 rear slot width, AP after repair must not be more than 0.089 in. (2.25 mm).
Remove minimum amount of material possible to blend the damage to make sure that all dimensions are contained in the given limits.
Make that all sharp edges are removed and the repaired areas are blended smooth to the adjacent surfaces.
Where applicable the lining is to be dressed smoothly into the adjacent material, with a gradual smooth blend.
NOTE
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-35-03-300-501.
Remove and blend the area(s) of damage as necessary.
Make sure that the surface finish of the repaired area(s) is equivalent or better than the adjacent area(s), which is not repaired.
